Love Hurts

Caged Love, Book 1

By: Mandi Beck

Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

Even when she won't fight for us, I'll go to war for her....

Inside the Octagon, I have no fear. I'm at home, in my element, inflicting pain onto men trained to hurt me just as badly. Making them submit, knocking them out, maiming them, because it's them or me. And I choose them.

Outside the Octagon, my only weakness is a five-foot-two, classy as f--k woman that I've loved for most of my life. She's the one that brings me to my knees, fills my arms, my heart, and one day soon, my bed. She makes me reckless. Volatile. I drink too much and try too hard to f--k my way out of feeling - all because of her.

Frankie De Rosa is my girl, my best friend. I haven't earned her yet, but I won't stand by and let anyone take her from me. She will be the greatest fight of my life, but she's worth the battle.

Love hurts, but anything worth having does, right?

I'm Deacon "The Hitman" Love - Welcome to the Cage.

Absolutely Amazing!!

I absolutely loved this story! The characters were amazing and the narrators did an incredible job bringing them to life!! I simply lost myself in these characters. There was never a dull moment and I hated when I reached work and had to stop listening to Frankie and Deacon! Wow!!

The Princess is a brat

Frankie was beyond naive, childish and irritating and it drove me crazy! I tried to feel her side of things but it just got to a point where I just want to shake the sh!t out of her for him!

drags out too much

story line is good but drags out for too long and then when you are finally going to find out things it is a cliffhanger.

Love the Narrators....

Would you listen to Love Hurts again? Why?

Maybe, maybe not. This is the first one I read with an MMA fighter, he seems to have a lot of anger issues. Deacon is so arrogant which is kind of cute but he doesn't treat the "princess" so sweet. He sounds more angry than loving. Even though you can tell he loves her but he just doesn't go around it the best way possible.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I wasn't expecting the story to go that way at all.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was at the beginning when he gives the "princess" her gift for her birthday which she loves better than her boyfriends gift.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me cry.

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy the story, and I love the narrators.
